Go to bed without supper!

[MessiahDecoy123]

You're not going to get malnutrition from missing a single meal.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Hahaha Hell naw!! i ate dinner and it was like you are going to bed alright!! cause you wont be able to sit down with that belt on my ass! Hahahaha. i think getting grounded and going to bed without dinner for the most part isn't very "Afrocentric", but beating your ass is!

 

[wiegeabo]

That might have happened to me once. but I really don't remember.

What I hated was having to sit in the corner and face the wall. As much as I didn't like get spanked, sitting in the corner made me feel so sad and pathetic. Especially when something funny was on tv, and everyone would laugh, but I wasn't allowed to turn around and see it. I could only listen.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I got in trouble saying that exact same thing to an undercover female police officer.

 

[wiegeabo]

My parents were in no way abusive and I have been spanked with a wooden spatula, a belt, a small tree branch that I had to pick out, and an actual spanking paddle. I hate that society today is too reactive and that timeouts are considered punishment. My kids will be spanked.

And no...no off to bed without dinner. You could wake up at 1am and go sneak into the kitchen. Spankings you remembered.

Time outs can work. I got a version of them.

But when they don't, it upsets Mr. Belt.

 

[Boom]

In my circle of friends, spanking and beating are the same thing. We just say beat instead. So, no abuse here, kids.

Thanks for the clarification. I was all like "."

 

[Brain Damage]

I used to get slapped.
Honestly, I'm more opposed to it now than I was back then.
Just seems like kind of a lazy way to discipline a child.

 

[Boom]

I had the kind of dad who would flip out over someone spilling their glass at the dinner table. I love him to death, but we were just terrified of pissing him off. One time, I accidentally broke a souvenir he brought back from Ireland, and promptly ran and hid in my closet. Just sat there in the dark for an hour. Fortunately for me, he had forgotten all about the thing and didn't care.

Looking back on it now, I can help but marvel at it. Yeah he'd spank us (he would not tolerate misbehaving in church), but half the time he didn't even need to. If you did something to piss him off, you knew not to do it again. Didn't even have to raise a hand.

Of course, now that we're older, my brother and I like to piss him off for fun. Funny how things change with age.

Some of these little fatties need to miss a ****ing dinnertime. That's right, I said it.

Sounds like this thread should be renamed The 'Old School' Parenting Thread...

Nope. Never that.

I would usually get in trouble for fighting with my younger sister - our punishment was to be sent to the same room until we could be civil to each other (we shared a bedroom until I was a teenager).

I do remember my mom chasing me with a wooden spoon (and knowing I'd get spanked if I got caught - but I could out run her).

My mom's favourite punishment was guilt. Man oh man that woman knows how to use guilt on you.

My parents were really strict and use to hit me and my brother all the time . My mother only tried the no supper method once but my Dad caved in. I was grounded from the day before for a bad report card and wasn't allowed out of my room. I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch so by the time dinner rolled around I was f'n starving. I hated life that day and still remember it.

edit: I also would like to add , I'm another wooden spoon victim.

I remember one time my mom was going to hit my brother and I with a wooden spoon, and we kept pulled the covers over us, and the spoon broke, so she got another one, and tried it, and we pulled the covers over, and once again it broke. It was classic. I think we all just burst into to laughing. Needless to say she didn't really try the wooden spoon method anymore.

 

[HisMagicTrick]

Nope, never been sent to bed without dinner. I was an incredibly spoilt child so if my parents ever refused me something I would just throw a tantrum and thrash and scream while rolling on the ground until they gave in. It always worked, which is why I still do it.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

I usually just got threats.

When I was about fifteen, my twenty year old sister and I got in a fight and at one point she said "what are you going to do?" and me realising I was finally big enough to cause her physical pain back responded "I'll punch you in the face", to which my father casually responded to from the other room (without taking his eyes off his book) "You lay a hand on her, and I'll slit your throat while you sleep."

My sister and I were both shocked. We never got in a physical conflict again and every time I've heard of a guy being abusive to a girl, I have the urge to beat the **** out of the guy.

 

[Ajendo]

I know!

I'm actually 2 years older than my sister. We got into an argument when we were teenagers and I shoved her away because she was in my face and then she ran and lied, saying that I punched her in the stomach. 5
seconds later, it was like a
Jurrasic Park moment, all I
could here was the hasting of thunderous footsteps. My
mother walked right past me, she went for the draw and pulled out one of our carving knives, cornered ms, had the furious look of some crazed
beast, put the knife to my
neck, spitting out the words,
"if you ever touch my
daughter again I'll kill you
and then I'll kill myself".
needless to say I protested
my innocence and for the longest time hated my sister. I almost crapped myself that very moment and a week later, I paid a family friend to put locks and bolts on my bedroom door.

I experienced a similar punishment where I had to face the wall, close my eyes and raise my arms up and if I rested on the wall or my arms dropped, it was a belt across the backside. It was a lose-lose situation.

I approve of your father.

Maybe sent to room for not eating supper.

Dinner is a privilege of choice and we are in a country that supports that freedom of choice for children and adults alike. I think that's more or less how most parents today probably view it. If the kid's old enough to get and prepare his or her own food properly, let 'em starve if he or she wants too. A kid might not like eating but they'll probably soon realize they have nothing better to do.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

[BillPardy]

I wasn't really punished much, because I had an older sister so I learned from her getting the boot in the ass not to act up.

 

[munchie64]

Am I the only one who has hardly ever been physically punished by my parents. I've only ever been slapped on the arm once or twice a couple of times, and only when I've been a really, really massive dick, never for accidental stuff, or tantrums or anything.

I've also never been grounded.

 

[terry78]

We were all a-holes as kids, whether our parents were jerks or not.

 

[munchie64]

Yeah. My mum says that I'm a good teenager because I was a horrible kid.
